Doctoral Candidate

Marlene Sattler joined TU Berlin as a research assistant in August 2019. As part of the interdisciplinary junior research group, she is writing her PhD thesis on the discourse of reporting on road fatalities in the context of the Berlin Mobility Act.

Marlene Sattler completed her master’s degree in Social and Business Communications at the University of the Arts Berlin with a focus on risk and crisis communication. She wrote her thesis about the non-topic of traffic fatalities in Germany. In 2013, she finished her bachelor’s studies in Communication Design at the College for Technology and Business Berlin. For her first dissertation, she captured different aspects of forensic medicine photographically, documenting how employees cope with the daily confrontation with death. After her bachelor’s studies, she co-founded a communication and design agency of which she was a managing associate until 2016.

The number of traffic fatalities in Germany has decreased significantly compared to today since a peak of 21,332 in 1970. In 2019, the figure was 3046, and in 2020 it is expected to be less than 3000 for the first time. This figure is a political and social success. This reduction in road deaths can be attributed to various factors.
